The fleet
Our fleet.
12 or 15-passenger,
assigned on the day.
You tell us your group size; we match you to a 12 or 15-passenger van based on what's on the lot. The fleet runs majority 15-pax right now. Both vans share the same American full-size-van platform, same rear + front A/C, same regular unleaded, same care. Groups of 9 to 15 travel in one vehicle instead of three sedans chasing each other down Saddle Road.

A note from us
We don't up-sell.
We under-promise a seat,
then over-deliver the ride.
If your group is twelve, take the twelve. The fifteen is only a better pick if there's luggage-for-fifteen or a sixteenth person showing up in Kona. Both vans get to Volcanoes, Waipi'o overlook, and the Mauna Kea Visitor Center at 9,000 ft without drama.
Summit road past the visitor center is 4WD-only and off-limits for rental vans. Nobody's business model covers that climb. Everywhere else on-island, you're set.
Do I need a special license?
No. A standard US driver's license covers both vans. No CDL, no endorsement.
Can the vans handle Saddle Road?
Yes. Paved the whole way across, and our vans cross it weekly.
Is airport delivery really free?
Yes. Airport delivery to ITO and KOA is how we run — we meet you at the airport when you land. Ask us about delivery logistics for your dates.
Van picked?
We'll meet you at the curb.
Tell us your airport and dates. We handle the rest. Most groups get a confirmed hold the same day.
